Oh Toshiba!!

My Laptop collapsed again! Suddenly it failed to start up. With my boyfriend help, we opened it up and made an operation on it! No, actually the hard disk cable was loose, somehow. We had to open it up, took it out, pressed the cable into the thing a bit, and then put it back. There! Windows starts up now! Oh...Toshiba...

I'm using Toshiba Protege R150. It's small. It's light. It's great. But I've been having lots of problems with it. First, the keyboard, suddenly the key "4" cannot be used. I had to have the whole keyboard replaced. Second, the speakers, the sound was distorted. So I had them changed. It worked well for a while, and I cannot hear any kind of sound from them since. Oh, this is not to mention the dead pixels... It brakes my heart every time I see my face on the screen with white dots on it!! And it's such a troublesome to go to the service centre having to take leave from work and wait there for 2 hrs (at least).

I'm not saying you shouldn't buy Toshiba, but you have to be really careful! I tell you, man, the workmanship / the assembly is bad... My boyfriend said it's lucky for me it didn't blow up! How come it's so dangerous using a laptop. Should I sign up for an insurance to cover injuries from using my personal laptop computer??

...I'm disappointed with my laptop and the money I paid for it.

Anyway, if you have the same problem with your Toshiba, maybe you can try open it up and tighten its cables inside a bit. Doing a bit of detox for it, it might work. Let me know and I'll teach you how!
